Re-watching WC on on HD Universal and got to episode 4 "Flip of the Coin". Neal is waiting on Mozzie in his apartment but Peter shows up instead. When Mozzie comes to the door he starts talking about his activities, going to the pawn store, and Neal is trying to get him to stop. Peter comes to the door and deoes not who Mozzie is Mozzie is and says "who are you" and "thought you would be taller" In the pilot episode Neal takes Peter to the locksmith shop so he can talk to Mozzie about how he connected the warehouse to Hagan. Mozzie was very eccentric ( more so than usual). Not sure how Peter would not remember.

Also in the the episode when Mozzie is scanning Peter's house for bugs, Peter does not what to leave Mozzie alone so he has Jones watch him. Jones says who is he. Again in the pilot, Jones saw Mozzie pass Neal a message at the smoke break. Peter asked him who is friend is and Neal said who (or something like that). Peter says Jones saw the little guy pass you a message "What do you think Jones is Stupid". I guess he is if he can't remember.

I am guessing they had new writers after the pilot, but you think they would have watched it.

Great show regardless.

When Neal stops for a cigarette to receive the hidden message in the cigarette. Jones really knew mozzie was the reason, and so he gets integrated into their.

Other than that, pretty sure you just explained when Peter met, "Havershem"

The real mystery is, the interchanging anklet conditions about going to Peters or being with Peters versus permissions of the mile radius to be adjusted.

In the pilot episode Neal takes Peter to the locksmith shop so he can talk to Mozzie about how he connected the warehouse to Hagan. Mozzie was very eccentric ( more so than usual). Not sure how Peter would not remember.

Where was this? I don't recall this scene being in the pilot. Mozzie appears near the FBI office in the smoking zone and Peter doesn't spot him, Neal does and sidles across to "bum one"

Jones does light it up and suggests the patch so fair to say Jones does see Mozzie. Peter doesn't.

In Bad Judgement, Jones come in and Peter asks him to make sure Elizabeth is safe or something like that. Don't recall Jones asking who's he

It was after the "cigarette" exchange. The message that Mozzie sent Neal linked Hagen to a warehouse where the bonds were being printed. Peter needs to know how he came about the information and needs to meet his source (Mozzie). It takes place at a locksmith store. Quite funny, Mozzie at his best, I thinks starts off asking Peter how shooters in the grassy knoll.

This is funny. I know exactly what the problem is lol. Thing is the pilot episode you're referring to is the "extended" undedited pilot episode. The real pilot episode doesn't have that scene and a few other ones. In the series Peter meets Mozzie for the first time at Neal's apartment altho' Peter is aware about Neal's "mysterious" partner in crime hence his line "I thought you'd be taller", Mozzie: "Me too" lol.

I like both the first encounters, altho Mozzie seemed a bit too out there crazy in the extended version maybe that's why they edited it out?

Hope this clears the confusion. Btw "how many shooters in the grassy knoll" Yes! Hilarious!
